Steam’s winter sale runs until tomorrow. You can secure a reboot of Tomb Raider with very good ratings for just under €3.
Which game is it? We’re talking about the “Tomb Raider” reboot, released by Crystal Dynamics in 2013. This reinterpretation tells the story of Lara Croft, who evolves from a young woman into a tough survivalist.
The mission is to explore a mysterious island full of puzzles, temples, and ruins and uncover its secrets. To achieve this, you must gather resources and upgrade tools as well as weapons to pave your way through enemies. The game offers a successful mix of action, jump’n’run, and stealth.
Netflix is currently producing an animated series featuring the heroine:

How is the game received? On Steam, Tomb Raider is rated “overwhelmingly positive” – a solid 96% of the 140,343 current reviews are positive (as of January 3, 7 PM). Players particularly appreciate the impressive graphics, which still impress even for a game over 10 years old, the gripping action, and the clever puzzles.
We summarize a few opinions for you below:
- “Reikan” writes: “This game is a solid title in the Tomb Raider franchise. Really fun gameplay, great graphics, and it plays well on the Steam Deck. I would recommend buying it on sale, or even at full price.”
- “zigafix17” thinks: “One of the best games I’ve played in a long time … The graphics are good, to say the least, for such an old game, the puzzles are challenging, a little more than action-packed …”
- “ninjixel” writes: “Towards the end, it became a bit repetitive, but overall it was really fun; I felt like I was in a movie.”
- “BigKahuna” thinks: “Fun exploration and gameplay with excellent graphics and presentation. Great soundtrack. I love the whole reboot of Lara Croft […]. Definitely recommended.”
- “Alice” writes: “The story of the stranded Lara Croft + crew is fun. […] There are really many impressive, beautiful, well-staged images for the eye. Not only visually, but also in terms of gameplay, Tomb Raider is convincing. The levels sometimes end in very chaotic, action-packed scenes, but with the really good design of the world, you always find your way. If you like this kind of game, action with occasional puzzles, you will also have a good time here.”
